Malaysia and Singapore are definates for needing a carnet. We also used one for Cambodia. This is our 3rd time here in Thailand on this trip. Twice we were able to sign Thai customs papers, but they only last a month, and then it can be a hassle to have them extended, but this time they insisted on a carnet, even though officially Thailand has not signed the agreement to be part of the carnet. This is the same as has happened to other bikers we are either travelling with or have met up with. No time limit and so much easier to use a carnet.
